All Good Things New York's most infamous unsolved murder case splashes across the screen in this drama oozing love, money and power. It's the madcap 1980s real estate world, and the Marks family reigns supreme under the eagle eye of patriarch Sanford (Frank Langella). Son David (Ryan Gosling) falls for and weds the lovely Katie (Kirsten Dunst), but she's got no clue about what makes her new family tick. Rated R. At Bay Area theaters.

The Fighter Two volatile brothers struggle to score a bit of boxing glory. Dicky (Christian Bale) surrenders to drugs and all the trouble his fists can muster. So up steps Micky (Mark Wahlberg). Sure he boasts of an easy victory and crash-lands. But when the opportunity comes to redeem himself, Micky dives in, his eye on the championship prize. Based on the true story of "Irish" Micky Ward. Rated R. At Bay Area theaters.

How Do You Know Lisa (Reese Witherspoon), a woman defined by her athletic abilities, falls flat when she's cut from her team. A fling with obnoxious pitcher Matty (Owen Wilson) serves as a mind-boggling distraction. But it's her encounters with businessman George (Paul Rudd), who's under investigation for a crime he didn't commit, that might jump-start her life. Rated PG-13. At Bay Area theaters.
